Why does my Voice Sound Different/Why Do I have to Select Every Key Twice?
Auditory prompts are verbal output messages that you assign to individual keys, to a row or column of keys, or to a quadrant of keys, most often when using 1 switch or 2 switch scanning. The SpringBoard will speak the prompts, usually in a different voice, when the Auditory Prompts option is turned ON in the AUDITORY PROMPTS MENU.
If Auditory Prompts are accidentally turned on in a SpringBoard and you are in Keyboard mode (selected in the SELECTION TECHNIQUE MENU), you will hear an auditory prompt for every key you select from the keyboard. This is similar to hearing just the first syllable of a word in a voice that is different from your main voice. This forces you to select every key twice: the first key press gives you the auditory prompt; the second key press will will bring up your message.
To Turn Auditory Prompts OFF if you are in Keyboard mode:
1. Select the TOOLS key.
2. Enter the AUDITORY PROMPTS menu.
3. Under Auditory Prompts, select OFF. With this set to off, the other two options/ settings will not matter.
4. Select OK to exit.
Now you should only have to press each key once and the prompt voice should not be spoken.
